With dutty's final rom, can you have a ringtone for each person? if so, how do you do it? i'm sad you cannot add images to a caller when they call you.

You sure that you don't have this option in Contacts? Select a contact and select Edit and see if you have Ringtone as one of the options.

I just checked and no I do not have the option Ringtone.
and "shuook" that link you gave me was for categories, not individuals. But I still thank you for your efforts.
Hopefully someone will come out with ringtones for individuals.
And images for individuals based off your sims card not contacts based off your email.
Are you trying to add ringtones for contacts that are on your SIM card? If so you can't. SIM cards do not have the required fields for the data. The contacts need to be in the built in memory.
in case anyone knows, i'm looking for an application that do that for SMS
ie, if the SMS is from number 99999999, plays a custom sound

Dev Friends,
Just recently I signed up with the Answer Tones through AT&T which I think is very cool then the lame ole ring-ring you hear all the time!
So I decided to change my personalized voice message. I used text to speech with music in the background. Mixed it down to a .wav file and would to use this as my personalized message.
Anyone know how this can be through AT&T? Only way I know how is to hold the mic up to the spearker and play the .wav file.. Kinda of lame and qty is bad....
Ideas anyone?

try useing youmail.com thats what i use...
would it be possible to create a audio recording computer based using soundforge, acid pro to .wmv or .mp3 and upload it to this service?
i am not interested recording a voicemail thru the phone receiver.
pls advise.
tvos
There is no way to upload your own stuff/files to ATT. The only way is to add it via the phones mouthpiece.
thanx for the info. i looked on the site and appeared that way, but
thought i would ask.

www.youmail.com is the ****. I love the smart calling feature. Example.
Say somebody calls you on your phone. This is what they will heard.
"Hello (person calling names) (Your Name) can't come to the phone right now. Please leave a message.

What I like about YouMail is that you can set custom VM messages for specific callers. I also have it set so people calling with a caller ID block get a message stating that I do not accept blocked calls. The voicemail can also be delivered to your email inbox, and in the case of work if someone leaves you a message on a project that someone else is handling you can just forward the email (and the message) to the right person. The only thing that bothers me is that I haven't figured out how to make the VM indicator work with YouMail (This may not even be possible, but I still try)

U need to have the contact on the phone, edit it, and there is a option to give a ringtone to that contact. If u want to assign tone to a group, u need some 3rd party software.
thank you for your answer!
how can i put contacts only in phone and not also sim contacts?
i'm a newbie, please help me!
i want to assign different ringtones to different contacts....
but in my contacts list i have SIM's contacts and not phone memory contacts and this can be done only to numbers in phone
how can i have only contacts in phone and not also SIM's contacts
thanks a lot!
I do not intend to be a jerk...................but most of this can be found with a simple google search or by reading the owners manual.
http://www.wireless.att.com/support_static_files/manuals/ATT_Tilt.pdf
start on page 82 and it will cover contacts.
you are right!
but my problem is how to see only outlook contacts not also SIM contact in phone...

Use the goddamn search button.
Get Kaisertweak (search in this forum) and there is an option to disable SIM contacts.
Is anything out there that allows you to pick a unique sound to play when you get a text from different contacts. Same principle as setting a specific ringtone to a contact, but with SMS? So when Bob texts me, it plays sound A to notify me, when Sally texts me, it plays sound B.
Thanks!

Not bad, thanks. I'd prefer something that just manages ringtones (esp. SMS tones) instead of taking over the whole contacts/incoming call system.
try ringo mobile
Google "inboxtones" as well...
You do not need third party software for this
In contacts, click on edit contact information and assing a unique ringtone to each person you would like to have a distinct ring...

I think you missed the point.. last time I checked, that was only for an incomming phone call, not an SMS message...
Right so I know this question has been asked many times before, but none of the answers I find work for me.
Problem: is that in the messaging app (sms) there is no picture of "Me". Its just a grey rectangle with a white border.
Things I've tried:
Pressing the grey box to bring up menu: Pressing the box does nothing other the simply changing the border color from white to orange.
Clicking menu >> more >> add contact: no such option is available for me
Add myself as a contact in the phonebook: Done this with my number with and without country code and with email.
Add a picture to my profile in GTalk ('Talk'): I've had a picture there for ages, same one as was set on my google account online before I even got this phone. No luck here
I think that's all ive tried, but I may be forgeting something.
Possible explenations:
burnduck said:
I have tested it, and that "unknown" is the cause of greyed out picture.
I have 2 sim cards, one is 3UK, and the other one is one2free from Hong Kong. The phone recognises the 3UK phone number but not the one2free (it shows up as unknown).
I have both numbers under the same contact with a avatar / picture.
Nexus one shows up profile pics correctly with my 3UK sim card plugged in, but it greyed out all those pictures when I've plugged in the one2free sim card.
FYI all those messages were sent and received on the one2free (hk) number.
I know (at least in Hong Kong) there are a lot of carriers who don't put the phone number in SIM cards. It wasn't a big problem until now. :/ I wonder if there will be a solution addressing this problem.

What burnduck is refering to is in 'Settings>>About Phone>>Status>>My phone number'. This slot just says 'Unknown', has been this way in 2.1 as well.
All in all that seems like a plausible answer untill Rusty commented the following:

For the record in 'Settings>>Location & security>>Set up SIM card lock' the option to 'Lock SIM card' on/off does not work for me either. I can change the sim pin, but not disable it entirely.
Im wondering if some1 has any clever suggestions or work-arounds I can try. Im using a stock n1 with froyo 2.2. Any help would be greatly apprechiated.
This has now been solved! The problem is that your phone number is not stored in your sim. You need to put your sim in a phone that allows you to alter you "personal phone number". Its usually a setting found under 'special numbers' then something like 'my phone number'. Many people have been using their old phones to do this, some have used iphone. But this has been confirmed to work! Good luck all!
I also have this issue. only 1 SIM card.
i added myself to my contacts. then goto contacts and click add to cantacts. didnt change how number was displayed and didnt add any name and it works fine.

long press the greyed out pic in sms app then add to contacts.
then it will cgo to contacts page at the top just click add to contacts. dont change name or add number.
once added go to contacts select the contact, your number, and add a photo.
I'm having the same issues as described by the OP. Tried everything but still no picture.
I've sent a mail to my provider asking whether it is possible to remotely update my simcard information.

I originally tested going into the messaging app then into an existing conversation between me and some1 else on my contact list. Long pressing the grey pic then did nothing.
Now I just deleted myself and then sent an sms to myself. In this conversation with myself I now have 'Me' and 'my number(in numbers of course)'. I can't do anything with Me, but I can add 'my number' to my contact list as myself with my number and email. But still wont do anything to 'Me'.
Confusing but hopefully u understand.

yes just add you number to contacts. it wont show in contacts as ME.

I know it wont show in contacts as 'Me'. Buts its not showing as 'Me' in the messaging app. In the conversation between me and me, me will be grey and the contact I saved will be the name I save it as. Get the difference?

yeah and im glad u did, thx for the effort. I think it has something to do with the sim card, as everything else should be the same i presume. I have sent an email to my provider, hopefully they will have some insight to come with tomorrow.
yeah, same here, think it has to do with the sim card. which is weird,why dont it just use the google pic instead of using something connected to the sim. weird.

Yeah, I agree. Really strange. I mean the fact that you have to manually add yourself and your number in your own phone book is just kind of funky in my opinion.

Well I wouldn't say its too funky, adding myself to the phonebook is something I've been doing, so that I can trade contact with others, but I think google could have gone with an easier option which is to use the picture of the google accounts. After all, its associated with the phone isn't it?

Yeah, exactly the point I was trying to make.
i added my phone number to my google voice contact number, then i dragged a photo of myself onto the sd card, then edited my contact picture to use that photo. a long drawn out work around, but now it isn't blank at least.
i agree, it's a little stupid that it doesn't just grab your photo from either google or facebook, seeing as how it's totally synced up with those.
Any idea wth happened to this one? i literary got a mate buying the same phone at the same place, with the feature on hand?

what settings exactly did you go for? a few guide that i've found didnt result in any success.
I found some SIP Settings with the app you recommended and managed to add my server (it's a local server), how exactly are the calls made? just dial the extension?

When placing a call it will ask you from where do you want to make the call. And just chose your SIP account.
Also receiving calls is working for me I am using voipdiscount.
I found the settings and configured an account of mine. But when placing a call it always go with one of the two sim cards and it doesn't ask which account it should use.
ALso, I cannot find where I should be able to enable incoming calls.
I set ALWAYS ASK as the way dual sim mode works, but it doesn't ask all the same.
Any hint?
Thank you.

I defined a sip account but when placing a call it doesn't ask me to use it so it seems useless as yet. Any hint? Maybe is there something else to set or configure?
Thank you.
on android 10, callingapp->settings->calling accounts->sip accounts its blank, but there is a barely visible + sign on top right. tap it and you can add a sip account.
to receive sip calls , in calling accounts, tab "make calls with" and select ask first.
also activate "receive incoming calls". (use more battery life)
